Rigel VIII was the eighth planet of the Rigel system.

Ten thousand years ago, it was known that the species known as the Masters planted new as well as promising forms of life on Rigel VIII which, in time, evolved intelligent star farring races that revered the Masters as gods after they were long dead. (ST roleplay module: The Orions: Book of Deep Knowledge)

Rigel VIII was the origination point of the Orion species, although the bulk of their species was nomadic, having long ago abandoned the cradle of their civilization to live in various Orion colonies. (ST reference: The Worlds of the Federation)

Following the divorce from Nanietta Bacco in 2318, Roberto LaManna eventually moved to Rigel VIII and opened up a bar that was popular with the local miners. (TNG novel: A Time for War, A Time for Peace)
